Answer 3

you need to upload the figure on net so i can see it lol

Answer 4

PS divides both lines in the same way.

The left one is divided in the ratio 3 to 1 so you need to divide 16 into two numbers in the same way (ie one number is three times the other).

Answer 5

wait so how? I'm terrible at this

Answer 6

If the number is to be divided in the ratio of 3 to 1, hen you have 4 parts in total.

4*4 = 16 so the line is divided as 3*4/1*4 or 12 and 4.
